How to Be You - On Squidoo

In Chef Keem's lens on How to Be You on Squidoo, he quotes Seth Godin: "Remarkable doesn't mean remarkable to you. It means remarkable to me. Am I going to make a remark about it? If not, then you're average, and average is for losers."

Chef Keem's lens is one of the best I have ever seen about the importance of sharing yourself on Squidoo. I strongly recommend that you read this one today.

Don't you like to read personal lenses? Isn't it fun to get to know other folks? And then, don't you then begin to follow that person's lenses -- just because you like them or appreciate their openness? Don't you know people feel that same way about you?

Are you sharing your own personality on your lenses or feeding us rote information? Guess which one is the most fun to read.

Some Things Bear Repeating

As I fly around Squidoo land in my role as a Squid Angel, I look at more lenses than you can imagine! lol It is fun, and I dearly love to find one worthy of a blessing.

I continue to see these common errors - so I decided to again alert you to these:

1. Bio - oh my! sometimes I dream about that orange guy. Please add a photo and a bio. Introduce yourself to your readers.

2. Default module titles - again and again I see reasonably good lenses with all default module titles. Don't be guilty of that one. Change the title in every module that you use. I am especially aware of this one. It was one of the hardest lessons for me to learn on Squidoo. I would create a beautiful lens, send it proudly to The Isle of Squid, and shortly receive a message "your lens cannot be accepted because you have default module titles." And I would fix them, and resubmit. Over and over. Save yourself some grief. Fix those module titles as you create your lenses (and if you ever spot one on a lens of mine -- do me a favor -- drop me a note and tell me). Thank you.

3. No Intro Picture. A lens without an intro picture is half done. Add a picture to that intro module.

and keep having fun making super lenses!!
